I've only kind of let myself get out of shape body fat percentage wise twice in my life. I can say it's a hell of a lot easier keeping weight off and staying in shape than it is getting out of shape then trying to get back again.

Also helps I stopped drinking so much f****** beer.

Who knew that made it hard to keep weight off even when you exercise? F****** science.

Do you mix in resistance training with cardio and walking? That can actually help speed up your metabolism so you lose more body fat. It also just burns more calories.
